This blog shares the journals of my great-grandfather Nelson Hjalmar Lindgren (b. 14 Oct 1884 Sweden d. 3 Mar 1976 E. Prov, RI). These writings give a window into a fascinating man and give the story of a remarkable life of a first generation Swedish-American.
The daily entries of Nil's journals from 50 years ago will give our family a greater connection to our past.

Nice morning.Henry and Alma were up so we had breakfast before Tillie left.They packed and left at 8.40.Dot Larken came over and brought the syrup container back.Dot missed the Bergs by a minute.

I took a walk over to see Jacksons swere installed.Also stopped at Strakers and watched them building a Florida room.

Tillie came home about 3.30, so, after arranging the flowers she brought a bouquet over to Sally.
